    If this is how the police feel -State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt stated: “Police officers take an oath to uphold the laws of the State without partiality or prejudice. Any disregard of that oath should never be tolerated. ” Then sheriff Lewis should be rounded up for his stunt yesterday.

    Why doesn't the prosecutor indict every officer? Every officer that I know personally blatantly breaks the law and brags about it.

    You are sooo right 11:06. If they were doing a sweep, i'd be more understanding. Has any other officers been indicted in the history of worcester, somerset, and wicomico...?

    The truth is not as sparkly as all the rumors, but it does show that the officers were let go due to misconduct and not racism. Imagine that.

    A nobody? I don't even know who or what you are referring to, but calling anyone a nobody is just wrong.
